The info on these folders said you can write/re-write on the tab, but I can't get any writing implement other than a permanent marker to actually write on the tab. what do you suggest?

Hi Meryl,

Thank you for your question about Pendaflex Ready-Tab File Folders.

The tabs of these folders are made from poly laminate, i.e. plastic. They work best with markers, which you've discovered through trial and error. They're not really designed for erasing, or for pencil or pen ink marks.

I did not realize what I was ordering when I purchased this product. Each folder has all 3 tab positions and you fold down the tabs that you don't want to use. I ripped several folders when trying to fold the tabs down and stick them in the slits which was frustrating. I get the idea for the system, but its not my favorite. Also, the tabs are glossy so the writing smears easily if you're not careful.
